Not Alive but Breathing

–

People laughing

Smiling

But me?

I just feel

Empty

Lonely

Frozen from within

No emotions

It’s easier that way

People will leave

Anyway…

People dancing

Enjoying

But me?

I just feel

Broken

Darken

But safe inside of me

Not showing

Who I really am

People just don’t give

A Damn…

People living

Embracing

But me?

I will just keep

Breathing

Surviving

Hiding everything

Not revealing

The real me

Because I know that’s not

Who

People want to

See…

The poem itself is lovely, because you only write the best poetry, but my heart aches a little when I read it, and I hope you are alright? Sending good wishes your way.
